DISCUSSION:
Some customers may report that on occasion, vehicle exterior lamp assemblies are fogged with a light layer of condensation on the inside of the lenses.
This may be reported after the lamps have been turned on and brought up to operating temperature, turned off, and then rapidly cooled by cold water
(such as rain, or the water from a car wash). Lens fogging can also occur under certain atmospheric conditions after a vehicle has been parked outside
overnight (i.e., a warm humid day followed by clear cool night). This will usually clear as atmospheric conditions change to allow the condensation to
change back into a vapor. Turning the lamps on will usually accelerate this process.
